Two of Valve’s most recognized protagonists are Half-Life’s Gordon Freeman and Portal’s Chell. Normally these two live within their respective game worlds, but what would happen if they came face-to-face and dueled using their signature weapons?

This short film, simply titled Half-Life vs Portal, shows us what a battle between these characters would be like. Obviously: it’d be silent, but there’s more to it than that! In the video by AndrewMFilms, we see Gordon and Chell fight over cake (naturally), with the battle over the tasty pastry becoming more outlandish as it unfolds.

For a fan-made film, the special effects are very impressive. Chell’s Portal Gun and Freeman’s Gravity Gun play nicely off each other with neither weapon having an advantage over the other. With that said, Freeman has a bit of a leg up on Chell since he also uses a shotgun, and of course, his trusty crowbar as well.

There have been a few fan-made films starring Chell and Freeman over the years and this video definitely ranks among the best of them. It makes you wonder what it would be like if Hollywood ever decided to make feature films based on the two Valve properties. It might be a bit difficult considering that both protagonists don’t talk, but I’m sure a clever writer could figure something out. In the meantime, we can always enjoy awesome films like these.
